Don't mean to steal the thunder, but someone had posted this in an earlier thread with the title "PHP hammer" [ http://www.flickr.com/photos/raindrift/sets/72157629492908038/ ]. Anyway, to copy more links from there, Rasmus Lerdorf the inventor of PHP happily says that he ``loves solving problems but hates Programming". He is also very bad at writing parsers ....... [ http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Rasmus_Lerdorf ]

In an ealier Snakes and Rubies conference, Adrian Holovaty, inventor of django and the god-father of data journalism plus DDH the BDFL of RoR had this to say about a few Programming languages .... [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNTALycYJWY ]

If you save the living environment, the biodiversity that we have left,
you will also automatically save the physical environment, too. But If
you only save the physical environment, you will ultimately lose both.

1) Don’t drive species to extinction

2) Don’t destroy a habitat that species rely on.

3) Don’t change the climate in ways that will result in the above.
